Cool. Sounds like an excellent gift for members of the Jackstand Racing Club! Perhaps there are some wannabes out there lurking in the shadows that have been unable to summon the courage to join the Club. This could be your perfect chance to step up! smile

Lol I need to get myself a jack, unfortunately this one wont cut it. I need one with a low profile starting hight so I can get it under my car when it's lowered.

That jack looks exactly like the 30 dollar one from canadian tire, my dad had one and after a year the thing cant lift jack(no pun intended).
Costco has a beefy 3 ton jack with stands for 100 bucks from time to time, much better investment imo.

These jacks are good if you have a light car like the civic. I had a set when I had my CRX. I just sold them. I wouldnt trust them on my much heavier tsi. It's a good rule of thumb to always go for equipment rated higher than your needs.

Now got 3 ton jacks stands for $14 at princess auto. And need a floor jack. waiting for that to be in stock at princess auto. Does anyone have one in good condition that they wanna get rid of? (don't mean to hijack this thread)

I bought one of these a while ago, decent deal. Has no trouble getting the car up nice and high. And lord knows I need it with this damned thing.
